Amelia Hall, Belfast’s newest bar, has opened on Howard Street.
Owners, the Ringland Group, invited hundreds of people along recently to try out the drinks, food, and atmosphere before opening to the public.
The beer hall, pizzeria, and terrace has undergone a series of trials to test kitchens, bars and systems.
'Long Journey'
"It’s been a long journey to bring this concept to life, and the response so far has been overwhelmingly positive," said Peter Ringland, co-founder of the Ringland Group
“Amelia Hall is more than just a bar - it’s a destination where people will come together, to share great cocktails, beers, wines, small plates and pizzas in one of Belfast’s most beautiful buildings.”
Ulster Bank Partnership
Founded in 2008 by brothers Peter and Ben Ringland, the Ringland Group continues to grow its portfolio of hospitality venues, including the Flint and 1852 hotels, as well as the popular bar-restaurants Town Square, Southside Social & Lucky Duck.
The group recently announced a new partnership with Ulster Bank which includes a £1.75 million (€2.07 million) facility to support the development of Amelia Hall.
Amelia Hall has already created over £1 million worth of jobs in the local hospitality sector, with a wide range of roles filled, from chefs to senior bar and restaurant managers.
'New Standard'
“The interior design of Amelia Hall sets a new standard in Belfast, and we’re incredibly proud of the finish," said Thomas Camblin, head of development for the Ringland Group.
"We believe it’s going to be a must-visit location for anyone looking for a great night out or a relaxed afternoon with friends.”
